Growing
Many times Jesus made parables with wheat and seeds to illustrate the growth of the kingdom of heaven. Taiwan does not grow wheat. If the native crop is used to translate Jesus ’ parable, rice should be the best example. But I replaced the wheat that Jesus said with other Taiwan agricultural products, and the image of plentiful of fruit was just joyful. This work is about the growing banana. The fruit is not yet ripe, but it will soon be harvested. The Kingdom of Heaven is just like this, which may grow thousands of times, so we should have hope and be patient.
